9. The Magic Bus

Those of you who really know their music will probably know 'Magic Bus' by British rockers The Who. It's something of a classic. The song was released in 1970, and The Who played at Woodstock the year before. As you can see, there was a bus there. We don't know how magical it was - although it looks pretty cool - but we think it's a safe bet the song was inspired by the festival. The bus was apparently a great place to go and find some marijuana.

Although marijuana is illegal, pretty much everyone at Woodstock was smoking it, and you didn't really qualify as a hippie if you didn't. The police took a relaxed attitude toward it, presuming they could even get into the event at all, because not one single person was arrested during the event. There are also no reported incidences of violence whatsoever. We hope there were qualified medical personnel on site anyway, though - two woman actually gave birth at the site.
